If you whant to call node from environment without activation then you shooulduse `shim` script::

$ ./env-4.3/bin/shim --version v0.4.3

Alternatives------------

There are several alternatives that create isolated environments:

* `nave <https: github.com="" isaacs="" nave="">`_ - Virtual Environments for Node. Nave stores all environments in one directory ``~/.nave``. Can create per node version environments using `nave use envname versionname`. Can not pass additional arguments into configure (for example --without-ssl) Can't run on windows because it relies on bash.

Version 0.7.0-------------- added ``--force``. See `# 37`_- python3 support (first steps). See `# 38`_, `# 39`_- escaping all directories used by subprocesses. See `# 40`_- added an option to use system-wide node. See `# 41`_

Version 0.6.5-------------- Node's source not loaded if it already exists in FS.

Version 0.6.2-------------- Skipped stand-alone npm installation by default. See `pull # 30`_- ``--without-npm`` has been changed to ``--with-npm``. See `pull # 30`_- Fixed options for running Make instances in parallel. See `pull # 30`_
